Answer 2

Well, there isn't a lot of info here. But will try.

First of all, if you have insurance, your insurance company is obligated to provide a defense for you (that's attorneys, the whole ball of wax). If you had liability, they are obligated to pay the damages within the limits of liability. Oftentimes all this will occur, and you'll just get a periodic letter from your insurance company keeping you informed. Once the person suing you (or his attorney) finds out how much insurance there is, they will likely settle for that if the damage is sufficient.

If you didn't have insurance, then you need to defend yourself. If you can't afford an attorney, do what you can by yourself. That will signal the plaintiff's attorney that you don't have insurance or very much money, if any at all. They may drop the lawsuit then. If not, then they'll get a judgment.

Your disability MAY be shielded from garnishment (or other execution). If it is Social Security or Workers' Comp, generally speaking, you can't garnish those funds. Can't really speak to anything else.

If you were driving someone else's car, you may be covered under their insurance.

Answer 3

I not sure. The Government can do whatever they want and the Judge is the Government! This seem weird, but, people need to get out more. LOL!
I hope you had insurance? They may settle for that, as it a Cash Deal. Disability, "IF" they did garnish your check (Part of it, they can not take it all surely) then there no real assurance the people get their money. Long story on all this.
For an Idea, talk to a Lawyer about Bankruptcy, before or after options (Many give a free consult). I know this sound harsh, but, when we get into this stuff you better learn how to play the game.
I promise if you where suing someone, they play all their cards before they just give up the pot!

Answer 4

NEVER EVER admitt liability until you are being sued for definite !!! if they do sue the oness is on them to prove you are at fault so do not give them any ammo .remember in this country it is still INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY .
